Execution Report: Gary Miller

Continued from Page 1

At his trial, Miller pleaded not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. The jury convicted him of capital murder.

When the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review his case in October, Miller asked his attorney not to pursue any more appeals.

"Maggie, I am sorry," Miller said to Howlett in his last statement. "I always wanted to tell you, but I just didn't know how." He then said a short prayer asking for forgiveness both for himself and for those "actively involved with the taking of my life." He was pronounced dead at 6:23 p.m.
